Disambiguation: Refers to the organizational structure concept of United States Air Force Major Commands (MAJCOM), not a specific named entity. It is the general designation for major Air Force subdivisions.

Major Air Command (MAJCOM) is the designation for a significant organizational subdivision of the United States Air Force subordinate to Headquarters, US Air Force. Since the USAF's inception in 1947, a total of 27 organizations have been designated as major commands. Currently, the Air Force operates nine MAJCOMs, each commanded by a general officer (O-10). These commands are organized on either a functional basis in the United States or a geographic basis overseas, and typically include hierarchical subordinate structures such as numbered air forces, wings, groups, and squadrons. The last major organizational restructuring of MAJCOMs occurred in 1992, with Air Force Global Strike Command being the most recent MAJCOM activated in August 2009. While the Air Force has been involved in historical and recent UAP reporting and file releases, MAJCOM itself is a structural designation rather than a specialized UAP program.

Major Air Command (MAJCOM) é a designação para uma subdivisão organizacional significativa da Força Aérea dos Estados Unidos, subordinada ao Quartel-General da Força Aérea. Desde a criação da USAF em 1947, um total de 27 organizações foram designadas como comandos principais. Atualmente, a Força Aérea opera nove MAJCOMs, cada um sob comando de um oficial general (O-10). Esses comandos são organizados tanto por base funcional nos Estados Unidos quanto por base geográfica no exterior, e tipicamente incluem estruturas subordinadas hierárquicas como forças aéreas numeradas, asas, grupos e esquadrões. A última reestruturação organizacional importante de MAJCOMs ocorreu em 1992, com o Comando Global de Ataque da Força Aérea sendo o MAJCOM mais recentemente ativado em agosto de 2009. Embora a Força Aérea tenha se envolvido em relatórios históricos e recentes sobre UAP e divulgações de arquivos, o MAJCOM em si é uma designação estrutural e não um programa especializado em UAP.
